We have been learning about how to write instructions and this week we focused on brushing our teeth. We have all been visiting the Community Dental Clinic over the past few weeks and even Ms Hansen has been to the dentist. It is important to make sure we are cleaning our teeth correctly and the dental nurse had a few tips. We were lucky enough to be given new toothbrushes and tooth paste by Papanui Dental Clinic and the Community Dental Clinic.
Remember
- 2 mins minimum of brushing 2x a day!
- Use a fluoride toothpaste (spiderman or adults one)
- Use a soft bristled toothbrush (not electric for kids)
- Brush inside and outsides of teeth as well as surfaces
- Floss 1x a week
- Spit don't rinse
- Avoid juice and fizzy drinks (milk or water only)
- It is recommended that parents should be brushing children's teeth up till about 7 or 8 years of age!
